Bang for the buck

There are many opportunities for students to receive financial help. LCC has scholarship programs, work study, scholarships and grants for students in sports, and various scholarships that are awarded every semester for hard work and dedication. I was fortunate enough to receive a full scholarship to LCC. The program did have certain requirements I had to follow, but it was worth it. I had my first two years of college paid for with the exchange of a hard work and determination for success on my behalf. Many people believe they are wasting their money by studying for their basics at a community college, but they are not. The college does have fees on top of books and tuition, but it is not an unaffordable amount. The difference between receiving your basics at LCC or a four year university is the price you pay for the same or a similar class.

Did enjoy being here

It was easy to make friends and be close to classmates due to the smaller class size than at the university level. There are also a lot of different clubs on campus that involve different interest for students. There are academic, volunteer, major based, music, and art clubs. Joining such clubs will make it easier to make friends and meet future classmates. The environment of the campus is safe and friendly. There are many social and academic services provided by the college to your advantage such as free tutoring.

Did learn a lot

Many people believe that community colleges are a joke, but they really are not. Laredo Community College (LCC) taught me not only academically, but socially as well. I learned to build on different social, self, and academic skills that made me a better student and over all person. I was taught to work with different people and the responsibility of juggling a full class schedule of about 15 to 16 hours a semester on top of extra-curricular activities. I was honored to be selected as a student of the LC.C. Honors Program where I learned the values of teamwork, hard work, and studying. I will admit that some of the professors treat their classroom and students as if still at the high school level, but there are a handful of the strict, but knowledgeable professors that teach in what can be known as a four year university level class. LCC taught me well how to be a better student. I feel prepared to enter and succeed at a four year university level after all I've learned.

Osvaldo from Laredo, TX

Great for students trying to save money and for getting started in their college education.

Tips for prospective students

First Please summit your application then you then make a appointment with a advisor and if possible pick your career before going. You do not it is ok our adviser's will lead the right direction. Another note make sure that you do not repeat classes and beware of your class and stick to a degree plan. if your like me please see the financial aid office see if you qualify for funds. If you do not make sure to pay for your classes early and ask about payment plans.

Bang for the buck

LCC is priced very good and they keep their costs low and keep the high quality of education up.

Am enjoying being here

You have a teacher student relationship that you are able to easily to get in touch with your professor. and by using the pasport system which allows you too email contact check your grade and register for classes also i enjoy the two campuses one in downtown Laredo where you access to music department and the historical buildings, and access to downtown. In the south campus it quit very chill learning environment

Am learning a lot

The Teachers are good people they understand some events that happen with the students and help you succeed. They are more then happy to help you grasp the lesson and lectures. We have a wide variety of faulty from all over the world who dedicated to there students and put them first. and all you have too do is ask.

There is a game room and the athletic department is a lot of fun while working out, also you can socialize with others in the lunch area.

Tips for prospective students

Buy the books early and talk to your professors and advisors they are there to help you.

In three sentences

I Love this place they make the transition from highschool to college so fluid and have many great professors to learn from. I really believe in the saying you must learn to crawl before you can run and as part of the community college I feel they teach you and prepare you for universities as well as social interactions and the like.

Campus Safety

The campus police is very helpful and are constantly surveilling the campus. There has not been many incidents just your occasional car accidents. The campus police is know to escort female students to their cars when is late at night. They are quick to respond and have their own phone number.

Clubs and Activities

Many clubs to join.

Great for these types of students

For students that are budget-conscience and/or want to save some money on their basics before transferring. It is also for students who do not want to study far from their home. It is great for people who are returning to college for a second chance.

Bang for the buck

LCC is really worth your money. Not many places provide the same education opportunities for such a low cost. With so much opportunities for student financial aid, some students transfer with a fair amount of money for their transfer to another institution.

What to do for fun

I am sure there are some interesting clubs out there or activities but I do not have much time to join. They have a wonderful art exhibit in the Fine Arts Department. They also have a theater to watch performances which I heard are pretty good. There is also an Environmental Science Center where you can go see animals and plant life.

Food and Dining

The Kazen building is not finished being remodeled, so I cannot really rate all that accurate. There is a place called food services and the food is alright. Luckily, there are other fast food places outside the college. For some, it is preferable to pack their lunch or even go home if they live close by. I, personally, do not enjoy eating fast food that often.

Academic Rigor

LCC is not hard and it can be very easy if you apply yourself. The testing dates are usually told in advance by your professors or are in your syllabus. They sometimes have a day where they review what may be expected in the tests. Some even provide reviews and sample questions. The homework is also simple and straight to the point. Overall, I believe that most people can achieve high grades in their classes if they actually study.

Tips for prospective students

1. For prospective students, I suggest paying attention to each professor's syllabus-it provides you with useful tips and the course's curriculum. For example, some professors do not require a textbook. 2. It is also best if you buy your textbooks early enough to buy the cheaper used ones or to buy them off friends. 3. To add, if you have any questions do, do not hesitate to consult your professors. 4.Also, if possible, befriend some fellow classmates and exchange numbers or add them to your social network(s). This would be a great help in case you need help, did not understand the lesson, are going to be absent, and/or need a study group. 5. Finally, if you need help with your assignment(s) there is a Learning Center inside the library. There you can be assigned to a tutor which can help you revise your work or study for a test. There are tutors for English, Biology, Math, History and etc.

In three sentences

Laredo Community College is a great place to start your basics at because tuition costs is cheap and the classes are relatively easy. The staff is very helpful and the college itself has a great ambiance. Overall, I think that LCC is a good college and is very affordable.

Many people believe that community colleges are a joke, but they really are not. Laredo Community College (LCC) taught me not only academically, but socially as well. I learned to build on different social, self, and academic skills that made me a better student and over all person.

Tips for prospective students

Familiarize yourself with the structure of the curriculum Look at the standard schedule for the program. Many have set schedules with little choice about morning classes and with few breaks during the day. In many programs, classes may begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. with a short lunch break.

There is an Honor society that, if a part of, you will be eligible for scholarships.

Great for these types of students

This campus would be great for independent students who have the full capacity to learn on their own without guidance from a professor every step of the way. I've attended TAMIU as well and at LCC it never seems like you are being babied in any way.

Be sure to visit the Trail which is located in back of the school near the nursery. It's a truly beautiful place.

Food and Dining

The food catering service is great. They serve a full meal (1 main dish and 2 sides) for under 5. There is also a section dedicated entirely to healthy meals and snacks. Drinks are not overpriced and the food is always warm and delivcious.

Dorm Life

There is student housing available, but it's very hard to qualify for it. The dorms are definitely not the greatest to look at either.

Academic Rigor

The classes are easy if you pay attention, but this depends mostly on the professor as with any college. Some professors successfully help you apply your learning's to the real world, but others just teach you what you need to know to pass.

Tips for prospective students

Try to finish your degree as fast as possible in order to pay less. Take full advantage of the free walk-in advising if you are undecided in your major.

I give Laredo Community College a 4/5 stars because this school has good educators. The tuition has risen a bit since I first started, but you definitely get what you pay for in newly constructed student centers and benefits. The classes can be as small of a 1 to 10 ratio or as large as 1 to 60 which makes it diversely interesting. This school also offers almost every class online for those who are self teachers

There are many reading areas in the buildings perfect for last minute study sessions or just a quite place to hang out between classes.

Bang for the buck

Its a Community College so you honestly can't expect much of it but to be completely honest it surpassed every expectation I have.

What to do for fun

There is a Rec Center in the second floor of the Kazen which is pretty cool.

Food and Dining

The food served at the Kazen Center is great. They have a lot to choose from, Mexican food, Italian, salads, and even basic sandwiches. They're all really great.

Dorm Life

The only dorms available are for Athletes. They are made from the fort homes that were there when the school was still a fort. From what I've heard the dorms are okay nothing too great.

Academic Rigor

The classes are fairly easy. The professors are very interesting and fun to talk to. If you read up on your professors before hand I guarantee you will do fine.

Tips for prospective students

When going in for advising remember to do so early and also remember that there are two campuses and you can get advised at either. Not only that, after your first time getting advised you may do so through email on their website. It is very important to register early, I cannot stress this enough.
